Common Use Cases
-
Converting mass-based gasoline flow to volume for custody transfer and pipeline monitoring
-
Assisting in engine testing by translating fuel delivered per second into volumetric flow
-
Specifying and evaluating fuel pump performance in automotive engineering
-
Reporting small chemical feed or dosing rates in British engineering formats

Measuring agricultural irrigation or laboratory flow rates in imperial units
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure gasoline temperature is close to 15.5°C for accurate conversion results
-
Use the tool for flows within practical ranges due to the small volumetric unit size
-
Verify composition and conditions when applying conversions for custody or billing
-
Complement volume data with mass measurements for comprehensive flow analysis
Limitations
-
Assumes gasoline is conditioned strictly at 15.5°C, affecting density-based accuracy
-
Variations in gasoline composition and temperature impact conversion precision
-
Very low or very high flow values may require other conversions for practical use
-
The gallon (UK)/day unit represents a small volumetric flow and may not suit all scales
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is gasoline temperature important in this conversion?
-
The conversion relies on gasoline being at 15.5°C because density varies with temperature, affecting the correlation between mass flow and volumetric flow.
-
What applications benefit from converting pound/second (Gasoline) to gallon (UK)/day?
-
Applications like custody transfer, fuel consumption testing, chemical dosing, and small-scale irrigation that use imperial units benefit from this conversion.
-
Can this converter be used for other liquids besides gasoline?
-
No, this converter specifically assumes gasoline conditioned at 15.5°C and may not produce accurate results for other liquids or conditions.
Key Terminology
-
Pound/second (Gasoline at 15.5°C)
-
A mass flow rate of gasoline corrected to a reference temperature of 15.5°C to account for density changes, measuring pounds of gasoline passing a point each second.
-
Gallon (UK)/day
-
A volumetric flow rate where one imperial UK gallon (4.54609 liters) passes a point over a 24-hour period.
